"Twenty-one years ago, if I could look old for twenty-one years, how much would I envy myself?"

"Of course we didn't believe it, and he was going to rush to confront you, but it was too late...... Then he got drunk. He slept until the next afternoon, and when I asked him if he remembered what he had said the night before, he didn't remember anything. ”

The shopkeeper Tu shook his head: "That's drunken talk." ”

The two women chattered for a while and went home.

Seeing the two guests, the shopkeeper Tu asked by the way: "By the way, where are you going to spend the night? ”

When Yan Saburo looked down from the mountain, he knew that this town was small, with no more than 500 residents, and at most there were some small shops to maintain people's livelihood, and there may not be inns for travelers. "Shopkeeper Tu, where can I rent nearby?"

He said renting, not sleeping.

The shopkeeper Tu smiled: "If you don't dislike it, there are a few empty rooms in my backyard, the house is complete, the bedding has just been dried the day before yesterday, and you can also boil water for a bath." ”

Miss Bai said happily: "That's the best." As soon as the shopkeeper said "take a bath", she felt itchy skin, and she longed to soak in the water at this moment.

Yan Saburo took out the silver, and the shopkeeper was not hypocritical, so he put it away and said, "The two of you sit down for a while, and I'll clean it up." ”

......

Soon, the two moved into the newly vacated guest room and lived next to each other.

The shopkeeper Tu's business is really good, these two rooms were originally inhabited, with all the mattresses available, and even the corners are cleaned. Before Yan Saburo closed the door, he heard Miss Bai buy a few sets of old clothes from the shopkeeper Tu, and asked her to boil more water and take a bath by herself.

The boy knocked on the door and reminded her, "It's not right. ”

"Why?" said Miss Bai pursed her lips. She wanted to plunge into the water and wash away the gloom that had been going on for two whole days.

"Why are you here?"

These words made Miss Bai shut up at once. Yes, they went to such great lengths to come here for the realm of dying, but now they are stranded in an inexplicable town, and there are still weirdness everywhere.

However, she did not feel very uncomfortable. Why is it so hard to take a good shower?

"Then, please help me get a bucket of hot water. "It's always okay for her to wipe herself, right?

Shopkeeper Tu responded with a smile, and Yan Saburo stood up straight: "I'll help." "After all, she is not a serious shopkeeper, and she doesn't have the strength of a man.

The shopkeeper Tu said no, but he insisted. The white cat was lying on his stomach in the house, and when he heard the sound, he jumped to Yan Saburo's feet and walked with them.

The female shopkeeper first went to take out a few sets of clothes, prepared to hand them over to Miss Bai, and then took Yan Saburo to the back kitchen. The cat followed all the way, making her amazed: "You cat is really human." ”

"Well, it's very good. Yan Saburo said something that didn't mean it.

"I should have one too, and I can help catch mice. After the shopkeeper Tu finished speaking, he was slightly stunned.

Yan Saburo asked her, "What's wrong?"

"It's fine. "She was back to normal in the blink of an eye. How do you feel like you've ever had a cat before?

There was a big iron pot on the stove, she filled it with water, added firewood to the stove, stretched out a fire stick and plucked it, so that it burned more and more. After all, she is not a serious inn here, and there is no special water room. When guests want to take a bath, she has to boil water on the stove.

The pot was on fire, the two stood in the kitchen and waited, and the shopkeeper Tu took this opportunity to wash the dishes, and asked Yan Sanlang: "That girl is really good-looking, but your female companion?"

Yan Saburo waved his hand, with a solemn expression: "No, by no means!"

Shopkeeper Tu was slightly stunned and let out a long sigh. Miss Bai is really a beauty, is the young man actually so solemnly denying the relationship between men and women? Yan Saburo continued: "Since Shopkeeper Tu is also from the outside world, I will say it directly. ”

He used the word "also", and there was light in the shopkeeper's eyes, and his voice was a little excited: "You too, too?"

"Yes. Yan Saburo turned around and pointed to the southwest, "We're coming over that big mountain." ”

The shopkeeper Tu opened his mouth to speak, and suddenly understood the difference in this sentence, and said in surprise: "Can you climb over the ravine?"

"Yes. Yan Saburo stared at her closely, not letting go of her changing expression, "You've lived here for many years, haven't you thought about going out?"

"Not really. The shopkeeper Tu thought for a while, "I and my grandson also had some hardships when we left our hometown, and I didn't want to go back." ”

Her expression was pale.

Yan Saburo threw out more questions: "Since there is no connection to the outside world here, how did the people in Taoyuan come here?"

The civilians of the Hidden Sea Kingdom came from the human world, and their ancestors were brought through the fog wall by the Hidden Ghost to the Sea Country with a pass, and since then they have taken root and multiplied.

And what about this strange place? "Could it be that everyone fell from the top of the mountain?"

"How is that possible?" said Shopkeeper Tu with a smile, "The villagers first hid in the land of Taoyuan to avoid the war, and at that time there was a road to the outside world, but it was just hidden. Later, a flash flood broke out, the earth dragon turned over, the terrain changed greatly, and the passage was gone. ”

"Can't get out?" Yan Saburo thought thoughtfully.

"yes. There will always be people who are not satisfied with the status quo and want to go out and have a look, but in the end they are in vain, and instead I hear that people occasionally come in. The 100,000 mountains around here, can you enter or exit? She exhaled, "Fortunately, the Taoyuan realm is vast, and people are self-reliant, and they still have enough food and clothing." Speaking of this, she asked Yan Saburo again, "By the way, are you here ......?"

Listening to what he said, the young man and woman did not stumble and fall, but deliberately found it.

For what?

Yan Saburo pondered for a moment before asking her, "Have you ever heard of the 'Realm of Dying'?"

The shopkeeper Tu was confused: "No." What kind of place is this?"

She replied quickly, apparently unimpressed by the name.

Yan Saburo didn't explain: "Apart from us, have you seen any other intruders?"

Shopkeeper Tu thought about it for a long time before shaking his head: "No." There are very few outsiders here, and if they do, the whole town will know about it. ”

In this kind of small, almost closed place, the gossip spreads faster than anything else.

She looked at Yan Saburo and said, "Little boy, where are you from?"

"Just call me Yan San, I am a native of Liang and now live in Weiguo. ”

The shopkeeper sighed.

Yan Saburo looked at her expression and understood: "Haven't you heard of it?"

Shopkeeper Tu smiled a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic: "I am Jingren." ”

"What?" This was too unexpected, Yan Saburo was stunned, "Jing?"

Qian also let out a long "huh".
